God Has a Writer's Room: And Other Secrets Black Jesus Told Me

Written and Performed by: Lauren Vernea

Comedy • Storytelling • Music • Multiple Characters

When a struggling Black female comedian in Los Angeles, the "off-brand, broke Kelly Rowland," hits rock bottom, she discovers that her chaotic life is being scripted by a dysfunctional heavenly writers' room. Now she must confront the ultimate Showrunner to discover her true purpose. Blending autobiographical storytelling, character comedy, music, satire, and magical realism, Lauren's journey moves through childhood dreams, family heartbreak, artistic ambition, mental-health struggles, grief, spirituality, and an evolving relationship with faith. Hilarious, irreverent, vulnerable, imaginative, and deeply heartfelt, God Has a Writer's Room explores what it means to be a talented but invisible Black woman and what God might be doing during the chapters of our lives that refuse to follow the plan.
